BTS Jin's First Solo Content "Run Jin" Gains Global Popularity
On December 10, BTS's official YouTube and Weverse channels released a video titled "Only Watch If You Want to Marry Kim Seokjin", featuring Jin's first self-produced content, Run Jin. The video has since gained immense popularity across the globe.
On this day, upon learning from the production team that he would be going on a blind date, Jin pondered what to say during his first-ever blind date. However, when he discovered his "date," 3-year-old Taeha (born in 2021), he initially appeared surprised but quickly warmed up, showcasing his kind and witty demeanor that made Taeha laugh.
Jin took Taeha to a kids' café, as per the child's wish. During the car ride, he thoughtfully secured Taeha's safety belt in the car seat and sang Taeha's favorite frog song, demonstrating his gentle and caring attitude throughout.
At the kids' café, Jin carefully guided Taeha down the stairs, making sure he was safe. He even helped Taeha remove his shoes and played with him while paying close attention to ensure he didn't get hurt. When sand spilled from Taeha's body during playtime, Jin quickly cleaned it up, revealing his meticulous and considerate nature.
The adorable and heartwarming interactions between Jin and Taeha brought healing and joy to viewers, showcasing Jin's endearing personality.
Jin and Taeha also made mini kimbap and pizza together. Jin's overflowing kindness shone through as he discreetly held the kimbap tightly to prevent it from unraveling while Taeha adorably rolled it up. The duo shared a delightful time that brought smiles to everyone watching.
In a bonus scene, Jin gifted Taeha with toy cars and construction equipment, items Taeha adored. Even after Taeha left, the production team invited a group of about ten more children to join Jin, who spent an energetic and joyful time with them, showcasing his genuine care and enthusiasm.
